Requesting to fix format of the rules for the track I just created.

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/castlevania-harmony-of-despair/xbox-360-live-arcade

It should look like this. Thanks

- 1 Player only.

- Any character, weapons and magic can be used.

- A saved file with upgraded characters can be used.

- Time has to come from the In-game timer shown in the Results screen.

- Pausing is not allowed.

There is a problem with this track. I won't let me submit a score. Thanks

Not sure if already logged but track creation formatting is destroyed once it is up and running.

All carriage returns and spaces are removed leaving the rules section as one big block of hard to read text.

Can I please get the following two track rules reformatted/fixed in this regard?


Rygar - Arcade - Points - Hardest Difficulty

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/rygar/arcade/points-hardest-difficulty/

Rules:

Dip Switch Bank #1
1-6 = OFF
7 = ON/OFF [Upright/Cocktail Table]
8 = OFF/UNUSED

Dip Switch Bank #2:
1-4 = OFF
5-6 = ON [Difficult 3]
7-8 = OFF

Note: The above Dip Switches, ARE NOT the FACTORY DEFAULT settings.

Lives: 3
Extra Lives @ 50,000 - 200,000 - 500,000
Difficulty: Difficult 3

Special Rules: Continues are NOT permitted!

Additional Info:

Time is your greatest enemy.

When the round timer hits zero, the 'Death Head' will loop through the screen from left to right and continue to gain speed on each loop until it is impossible to dodge without dying.

Point pushing/leeching is allowed on any round before the timer reaches zero and after the timer reaches zero (while skilfully dodging the 'Death Head').


Rygar - M.A.M.E - Points [Hardest Difficulty]

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/rygar-us-set-1/mame/points-hardest-difficulty/

Rules:

ROMSet: Rygar
Lives: 3
Cabinet: Upright
Unused: Off [All]
Bonus Life: 50000, 200000, 500000
Difficulty: Hardest
2P Can Start Any Time: No
Allow continue: No

Special Rules: This is a Single Player ONLY variation. Continues are NOT allowed!

Additional Info:

Time is your greatest enemy.

When the round timer hits zero, the 'Death Head' will loop through the screen from left to right and continue to gain speed on each loop until it is impossible to dodge without dying.

Point pushing/leeching is allowed on any round before the timer reaches zero and after the timer reaches zero (while skilfully dodging the 'Death Head').

This track has problems, it won't let me submit a score and it shows all scores to be 0 which is not possible either.

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/sega-genesis-collection/playstation-2/ntsc-columns-normal-difficulty-points/

This should be renamed from "NTSC - Columns - Normal Difficulty [Points]" to "NTSC - Columns - Original Mode [Points]"


The reason being there are two modes in the game. "Original" and "Arcade". The track is for Original mode, and presently a track for Arcade mode does not exist. In the event that a track for Arcade is added, the two tracks will need to be distinguishable by title.

Also, occasionally when I post in this thread, after hitting "post now", the page does not fully refresh - it just goes to a completely blank page.

Just stumbled across a missing score: https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/guitar-hero-world-tour/nintendo-wii/ntsc-modest-mouse-float-on-bass-expert-1-player-points/page/29?ref=fbshare has an accepted score of Jared's which isn't showing on the visual scoreboard (it does appear in the View All Submissions).

Request: update the Guided Missile MAME track

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/guided-missile/mame/points/

Replace Time: 90 with Game Time: 90 seconds + 45 extended

Request: update the Warrior Blade MAME track

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/warrior-blade-rastan-saga-episode-iii-japan/mame/points-single-player-only/

with DIP switch settings corrections

Replace Unused: Off with Magic Energy Loss: Always Player
Replace Rounds: Normal [10-14, Depends On Skill] with Rounds: Normal (10-14, depends on skill)

Note: the "Rounds" correction is not superficial. The "input view" command displays default DIP switch settings within straight brackets, so this correction is highly adviseable

Request: update the Strata Bowling MAME track

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/strata-bowling-v3/mame/points-strata-bowling-mode/

with rule correction

Replace Bowler Timeout Enable: Yes (it is one of the "default internal settings") with Bowler Timeout Enable: Yes, and move it above the "Special Rules" line, below the "Trackball Sensitivity" line.

Those words in brackets were not meant to be added to the rules. They were just my advising you why I was requesting the addition

Request: update the Tri-Sports MAME tracks

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/tri-sports/mame/points-power-strike-triple-strike/

with rule correction

Delete Special Note: Please be aware that this game makes ridiculously huge INP files. They still manage to zip under 10 Megs though.

Reason: the "Special Note" is nonsense. The game does not generate "ridiculously huge" INPs. Even if it did, that would not matter. I recently analysed an INP, which was over 12 megabytes in size, and the submitter reported no problems uploading it.

Atari 2600 / VCS - Miniature Golf - EMU - Game 1, Difficulty B (Number of Strokes)


https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=23624


Listing scores from highest to lowest instead of lowest to highest. Currently showing 39 in 1st and 37 (in process) in 2nd. As the track rules state "lowest score is best"


Edit: Since posting this my 37 stroke submission has been accepted and disappeared due to being lower than the existing 39 stroke score

There is a discrepancy on my profile page.

It reports that I am following a total of 4 TG members, but the list is empty (see below):



I have never knowingly followed anyone.

Who are these people? How do I "unfollow" them?

@admin staff will have a better answer, but I'm certain that at least one of the people is TG account and perhaps my account, so that you are able to be notified by certain administrative wall posts and etc.

Actually, I think I just figured it out.

I took advantage of the Game Follow Function when it was recently announced, and began following 4 game & platform combinations:

Arcade - Donkey Kong

M.A.M.E. - Donkey Kong [US Set 1]

Arcade - Out Run

M.A.M.E. - Out Run [set 3]

That's not it, the 4 following is the people you follow, not the games or platforms. There is a bug in the system and it doesn't show these things correctly.

Actually I think you may be correct as there is no current way to see a list of all of the games you follow as we have not implemented that yet.

those games would show up however as part of your following count
